HE AND HALL DID IT [Photo] W. H. Wright IN MEMORIAM
1876-1926 Mr. Wright who with Mr. H. F. Hall, organized the Mammoth Life [Insurance Company?] passed away 6 years ago Thursday, June 29.
MAMMOTH INSURANCE COMPANY SHOWS SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE In the face of adverse economic conditions, doubts, fears and whatnots, it is encouraging and inspiring to know that for the first five months of 1932 the Mammoth Life Insurance Company [has?] been able to show an increase in [production?] of new business over the corresponding months of 1931. Already, preparations are being made for the celebration of the 17th anniversary of this great organization, and officials and all workers will have more to be thankful for this July 12th, perhaps, than at any other time in the company's history.
Just seventeen years ago, the Mammoth was launched, conceived in the minds of its founders to give service to Negroes, to give inspiration for the formation of other businesses, to furnish opportunities to the youth to learn business, finance, etc., and destined from the beginning to become one of the largest businesses of its kind [among?] colored people. The genius and ability of the founders, President H. E. Hall, and the lamented W. H. Wright, have been conceded in all business circles, and they are doubly to be commended for assembling a group of such able, loyal and conscientious men and women who help put the Mammoth program over [from?] year to year. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement of 1932 was the special production drive for new business, known as "THE MAMMOTH VICTORY MARCH OF 1932." This special effort extended through the months of March and April, and during this period nearly 8,000 new policyholders availed themselves of Mammoth Life protection. Another feature of 1932 has been the remarkable increase in business in the states of Indiana and Ohio. At the present rate of progress, soon Indianapolis, Indiana and Cleveland, Ohio will rival Louisville for Leadership. It is the opinion of the officials of the company that the record of the first five months reflects only in a small degree the success that may be expected for the year of 1932. In the words of the President: "Through many dangers, toils and snares, we have already come," and it is our belief the company will continue to go upward so long as it renders the unexcelled service the Mammoth has been noted for during these 17 years.

K.S.I.C. Ready For Second Summer Term Frankfort, Ky. July 1--As the first term of the 1932 session of Kentucky State Industrial College Summer School draws near its closing days, preparations are going forward at a rapid pace for the opening of the second term registration, which will be held July 9th and 11th. Many students and teachers from all parts of the state, some of whom are among the 300 in attendance at the first term, have applied for admission. The people of Kentucky, says president R. B. Atwood, are beginning to recognize the importance and propriety of attending their own standard college. This is evidenced by the large number of graduates and former students of leading colleges who are taking courses here as the present time. The tide has turned homeward, observes the president. Students who have habitually gone to other states, both north and south, are now enrolling and applying for admission at Kentucky State where both their cultural and professional needs can be adequately served at minimum expense. Announcements for the second term suggest that those who plan to enroll would do well to send advance notice so that the best possible arrangements may be made to accommodate and serve their needs. July 11 is the last regular registration day.
